New Delhi | Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge on Friday while speaking on the No-confidence motion in the Lok Sabha alleged that the Narendra Modi government talked of democracy in ancient history while endorsing attacks on free speech in India.

The leader of the Opposition while speaking on the issue of the special status of Andhra Pradesh said, “The Congress is with Andhra Pradesh’s people, not with TDP or any party, our whole coalition is with Andhra Pradesh’s people”. Questioning the Central government on the issue of farmers, Kharge said “MSP was raised two days back with 7 months left for the polls, while farmer suicides have risen in the Government’s term”.

Mallikarjun Kharge further questioned the benefits of crop insurance. He said, “8 crore premiums of farmers collected, but amounts released are only 3 lakhs odd in Karnataka alone”. Kharge concluded with quoting Mohan Bhagwat’s statement regarding the intention to amend the Constitution. “Mohan Bhagwat wants to remove the parts borrowed from foreign constitutions,” added Bhagwat.
